A rare phenomenon where a large chunk of frozen ground moves up to several meters to the side, leaving a pit in the ground. The bottom of the pit seems to occur at the edge between the frozen and unfrozen layers of earth. One theory is that the phenomenon is caused by a lightning strike causing steam to form below the frozen layer, flinging a chunk of the frozen earth above into the air.

How many atoms of carbon are in one cookie?

assuming you know the exact chemical composition of a cookie (which I don't) you can find this using Avogadro's number. Lets say the cookie is composed completely of glucose (not a very tasty or nice looking cookie). The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6, therefor for every glucose molecule in that cookie there is 6 carbon atoms. Lets say we have a 100g cookie composed completely of glucose, we can find the number of moles of glucose by dividing the mass of the cookie (taken to be enitrely made of glucose) by its molar mass (approximately 180 g/mol, which can easily be calculated from the periodic table). So #moles=100g/180g/mol = approx 0.556 moles of glucose are in that gross cookie. Using Avogadros number we know that there is 6.022x10^23 particles per mole, so # molecules of glucose in 0.556 moles = (6.022x10^23/mol)(0.556mol)= 3.35x10^23 molecules of glucose in the cookie. But for each molecule of glucose there is 6 carbon atoms so 6(3.35x10^23)= 2.01x10^24 carbon atoms.


Is a cookie an element or compound?

Compound means made up of different things. A cookie is made of flour, water, sugar and butter. It's a compound.


What do you call the phenomenon wherein there is a marked increase in the earth's surface temperature associated with the radiation being trapped by its atmosphere?

This phenomenon is known as global warming. It occurs when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the gradual increase in the planet's surface temperature.


What causes the phenomenon of a yellow night sky?

A yellow night sky can be caused by air pollution, specifically from city lights reflecting off particles in the atmosphere. This phenomenon is known as light pollution.

What are cookie cutter sharks called cookie cutter sharks?

They are called cookie cutter sharks because About 100-90 years ago, a submarine was in the water and then when they came back, there was a bite mark that literally looked like a baker took a cookie cutter and put it in the sub! But what it really was, was a cookie cutter shark. What really happened, was that since the sharks diet is whale, the cookie cutter though that the sub was a whale, and took a bite, and then realised that it wasn't a whale and left it so that's how it happened!
